  1. Is it possible to sequentially copy and paste several items?


    With part of my job being data entry, I was wondering if there was a way to copy and paste multiple things sequentially. Meaning, instead of copy, paste, copy, paste, copy, paste, etc., you could just copy, copy, copy, paste, paste, paste. I know the clipboard exists and you can pin certain text chains for easy access, but I still need to open the clipboard every time I want to access the info. From what I can tell, there's plenty of mac programs that offer this capability, but I haven't found a way to do it in windows. This would save me nearly an hour of dragging my cursor between screens ev

  2. copy and paste

    Windows standard works in most places:

    Select first item in a list (one click)

    For contiguous list selection:

    Hold the Shift key down, click on the last item in a list

    For non-contiguous list selection:

    Hold the Ctrl key down, click on each item you want to save

    With selected items shown, simply hold the Ctrl key down and press the c key

    These steps will save what you have selected to the Windows clipboard

    You can then paste what is on the clipboard (not-selectively) in most places by simply placing the cursor where you want the copy to be, then hold down the Ctrl key and press v

  3. Paste command not pasting most recent clipboard item

    Hi, I'm working in Windows 10 and have a persistent problem with Copy + Paste. The problem is that the Paste command typically does not paste the most recent item from the clipboard, but rather pastes an item previously copied to the clipboard. So, for example,
    I might go grab something from the web via CTRL + C, and then try to copy it into an email, only to find that the pasted material is something I previously copied, not the material I copied most recently. At that point I have to go back, re-copy the stuff
    from the web, and try the paste command again. This works, but performing this sequence of steps twice most of the time is a pain in the...keyboard.

    I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

    Copy & Paste

    Has anybody requested this addition within your Future Updates of Windows?

    You copy some text that you need to use often. But, there is some other text you need to use also.

    when you go to paste... List down to 10 items available.

    Paste > 1st copied item

    > 2nd copied item

    > 3rd copied item

    This way you can choose which one to paste for what you are doing. You don't have to keep recopying the text to paste it.
